Your internship happened because you are motivated, dedicated, and passionate. So when it comes to finding housing, why would you settle for “just a bed.”

With Educational Housing Services (EHS), you’ll get a clean, spacious room that includes amenities like 24-hour security, private bathrooms, air conditioners, fitness facilities and more. Give us a call or visit us online for more information.

Getting the Most out of a Career FairThroughout a career fair, students will discover careers they did not know existed, hear professionals talk about work that excites them, and attempt

to persuade others that they are the best candidates for specific jobs and internships. One thing will be consistent: those who are most successful bring a sense of purpose and confidence to their conversations with employers at the fair.

Use these steps to identify your purpose for attending. Once you establish a few goals, confidence will follow!

THINK. 1. How will you know that attending the career fair was a good use of

your time?2. What are you hoping to learn at the career fair that would be hard to

find out using other methods?3. How would you like to be remembered by those you meet?

ACT. 1. Follow the tips in “Career Fair Success: Before, During and After”,

published in this Career Fair Guide on page 6.2. Watch the “Top 10 Ways to Prepare for a Career Fair” series we’ve

been posting on our YouTube, Facebook, and Twitter accounts. 3. Use the “Career Center Resources to Support Your Career Fair Success”

on page 7 for additional information.

Top 10 Ways to Prepare for a Career Fair [videos]http://goo.gl/rO38R

Career Fair Employer ListBecome familiar with the employers attending the fair and the hiring needs they have identified. TIP: Take initiative! Ask a recruiter for the best way to find more information (and perhaps an introduction!) if you have an interest in their company that extends beyond what you see listed. http://goo.gl/HmklVI

Career Center Drop-In AdvisingUse a 10-minute conversation to get customized advice as you prepare for the fair.TIP: Ten minutes goes quickly! Prioritize what you’d like to understand before the fair and ask those questions first. You can always come back, and you can always set up an appointment to have longer conversations.http://goo.gl/yOVWS

Resume GuideGo beyond a list of past job descriptions. Use your resume to present your methods, accomplishments and results.TIP: Write a short list of the qualities that you know your reader will be using to distinguish great candidates from the sufficient. Ask someone to read your resume and tell you how he or she would remember you. Make sure they match!http://goo.gl/SkJ8d

Career Center Resources to Support Your Career Fair SuccessOn-Campus Recruiting GuideUnderstand what “OCR” is, and how it works. This is a valuable resource available to Duke undergraduate and graduate students.TIP: Read the student policies and expectations AND the employer policies and expectations. Both provide you valuable information.http://goo.gl/L1coQ
